That is Christmas



Every time a hand reaches out
To help another … That is Christmas.


Every time someone puts anger aside
And strives for understanding
That is Christmas.


Every time people forget their differences
And realize their love for each other
That is Christmas.


May this Christmas bring us
Closer to the spirit of human understanding
Closer to the blessing of peace.

We received this Christmas greeting from long time friends, Katharina and Daniel, of
Nussbaumen, Switzerland.  May the message of this greeting be in our lives.
